[Image description: An illustration of a woman cradling her baby. She is teaching her baby the Litany Against Fear from Frank Herbert's Dune. Text reads, "remember little baby, you must not fear. fear is the mind-killer. fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. you must face your fear. you must permit it to pass over you and through you. and when it has gone past, you must turn the inner eye to see its path. where the fear has gone there will be nothing. only you will remain."]

And now, for something completely different

Happy Dune 2 Week! It doesn’t come out until 3/15 here, but I’m looking forward to watching it.

A few days ago I finished the text on the Home Fear Home cross stitch tapestry I’ve been working on since February. Next is to add grandmacore borders and Shai-hulud.

I don’t actually like cross-stitch, in fact, it’s a craft that works completely opposite to the way I like doing things, but my partner had the idea of making a home sweet home live laugh love precious moments-looking sewn thing except it was the litany against fear. I could not pass up the opportunity to make something truly demented. I am looking forward to seeing FEAR IS THE MIND KILLER beside cute flowers or something.

I must not engage with the discourse

Discourse is the time-killer

Discourse is the little error that leads to

table-flipping

I will ignore the discourse

I will permit it to pass through me and over

me

When it has gone past, I will turn to my

timeline and see no posts

Where the discourse was, there will be

nothing

Only cat pics will remain

Playing around with trying to embellish things some more. Accidentally learned the upper limit for just how saturated this paper can get without it feathering and bleeding.

They should invent fear that is not the mind-killer

i will not get silly. silliness is the work killer. silliness is the little death that brings total procrastination. i will face my document. i will focus on my wip and when the night is over i will have more pages finished than before. where the silliness has gone there will be nothing. only my WIP will remain

I'm done with my housework, and between loads of laundry, so I'm bored. I'm also excited to see Dune 2 with my in-laws this weekend

So, have the Litany against Fear in the Bee Alphabet (because I've been very interested with it since I found original Deseret Workbooks in my Wife's Grandmother's Library early last year)

Litany against Itchiness:

(bug bites in particular)

I must not Itch. Itchiness is the mind-killer. Itchiness is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my Itch. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the Itchiness has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

random thought of the day—all poetic structure credit to frank herbert. Great book btw

Star Trek vs Star Wars

Here's a a comment I wrote on a YouTube video comparing Star Trek and Star Wars. I've been trying to explain why the philosophy of Star Trek is better than Star Wars and give examples to support my argument.

As a lifelong fan of both franchises, I agree that Trek offers better ideologies. It took me more than 30 years to realize "do or do not, there is no try" was fundamentally bad advice! How many fans live by Yoda's aphorism? There is no room for trial and error and improvement in black-or-white thinking. Yoda failed Luke. Look at the results in The Last Jedi. Luke was literally hiding from the rest of the galaxy because he failed. What would Spock or Picard teach Luke about learning a new skill? Get up and do it again until you can do it or find another way to do it. Then there's the issue of the Jedi rejecting people because they sense too much fear in them. Why not teach healthy coping skills to younglings and padawans? Fear can be a useful emotion. In Dune, the Bene Gesserit have the Litany Against Fear, which teaches you to allow the fear to pass over and through you. What do the Jedi teach about overcoming fear? Fear is bad. Don't feel it. You're bad for feeling fear. Another failed teaching. What would Spock or Picard teach Anakin about fear? Apply logic. Feel the feelings, but don't allow them to take over.
